Sweet Home safety composite

Sweet Home scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 93% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 37%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score.
